Description

What's needed here is to change the inspection code so that: if vfs_type is NTFS and NTFS is not available in the appliance we print a better error message, telling people that NTFS support is missing, and that one way to get this is to install libguestfs- winsupport on RHEL 6. Setting target to 6.1. The revised error message says:
No operating system could be detected inside this disk image.
This may be because the file is not a disk image, or is not a virtual machine
image, or because the OS type is not understood by virt-inspector.
If you feel this is an error, please file a bug report including as much
information about the disk image as possible.
RHEL 6 notice
-------------
libguestfs will return this error for Microsoft Windows guests if the
separate 'libguestfs-winsupport' package is not installed. If the
guest is running Microsoft Windows, please try again after installing
'libguestfs-winsupport'.
Verified with the following pkgs: libguestfs-1.7.17-12.el6.x86_64 libguestfs-*-1.7.17-12.el6.x86_64 febootstrap-2.11-6.el6.x86_64 hivex-1.2.4-3.el6.x86_64 augeas-libs-0.7.2-4.el6.x86_64 virtio-win-1.1.16-1.el6.noarch When libguestfs-winsupport pkg isn't installed, more clearer error msg will pop up: # rpm -e libguestfs-winsupport-1.0-5.el6.x86_64 # virt-v2v -ic xen+ssh://10.66.72.xxx -o rhev -osd 10.66.90.xxx:/vol/v2vrwu1/xen_export win7-32b-hv-raw-intel win7-i386-xen.img: 100% [============================================]D 0h04m30s No operating system could be detected inside this disk image.
